#translatina — Public Fediverse posts

I have already been through so much, and it feels like no matter what I try to do to escape the never ending train of crises that poverty gifts you with, another blow is ready to knock you back down on your ass.

And now, here we are again, and every time it gets a little harder to ask myself why I even bother.

I posted earlier that I made it to safety, and that is true. But I want to be transparent about what that safety cost. This is the hardest part. What I'd rather be right now is self-destructive.

I just checked my bank account, and my lungs flattened out.

The one-way rental vehicle that got Riko and me out of danger was supposed to be manageable. Anything above and beyond the original cost was supposed to go into a payment plan that would allow me to pay back that amount in a reasonable manner. Instead, my debit card was hit with a total charge of $1,045.15.

This, despite the fact that no transactions that overdraw my account should be permitted. In retrospect, I should've just bought a car and sold it for the funds to get my new life started. (That's a joke. A bank would NEVER give YOU that much control over your OWN money. That control belongs to the companies you think you "choose" to patronize.

Leftisms aside, this didn't just drain the funds we raised—it destroyed them.

In my last update that I had "very little left." I have been made mistaken. I now have less than nothing.

I cannot buy food. I cannot pay for gas. I cannot pay for anything until this hole is filled. The bank and the rental agency are closed until Monday, leaving me stuck in this financial freeze.

I need to raise $1,050 immediately just to get back to ZERO.

Please, if you can help me clear this debt so I can actually make it through my first week in Pittsburgh, I would be forever grateful.

P.S. If you know anyone that works for Budget, ask them why they're in the business of destroying people's lives. That's a good question for them to answer.

This is the update I have been fighting to write for three days. The delays, the banking lags, and the "setbacks" are over. Check out the attached image!

We are leaving today.

I have successfully booked an Intermediate SUV for pickup at 12:00 PM today (Tuesday). This isn't just a reservation; it's the fucking LAST PARAGRAPH of the Iowa chapter. This vehicle has the safety features I need for the winter drive and the space Riko needs to travel comfortably.

It's still a little scary. The car was expensive, and gas could be tight. I chose a smaller vehicle because it was cheaper. I may have to leave some stuff behind, but that's OK.

The trip is secured. Might still need help once I land: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ellis-emergency-fund

The important thing is that we'll load up at noon. We'll drive through the night. By tomorrow afternoon, I will be in Pittsburgh, breathing clean air, safe and ready to start the next phase of my life.

To everyone who donated, shared, and kept my spirits alive while I was trying to survive these last few days in this toxic environment: You made this happen. You built the bridge that gets me out of here today. Thank you.

Next stop: Pennsylvania.

Let's go!

🚀 4 AM Update: The Support is Here. The Final Hurdle is Timing.

It’s 4 AM on Sunday. The mask is off. I’ve been in this atmosphere so long I've been able to take off the mask. It's surprising how quickly you get used to things. I've slept, gratefully, and a lot of that is thanks to the reduced stress from seeing your surge of support yesterday.

When I posted in a panicked state about the toxic air and the massive funding gap, you showed up. I need to thank, by name, the people who are funding this exit:

⭐ David Beers
⭐ Samantha Rose
⭐ Meade Isaiah Madrone

And I must thank the four anonymous heroes who—together with the three heroes I listed above—donated a grand total of $435 towards getting me out of this toxic environment and towards a safe home in Pittsburgh.

I'm not there yet, but I'm close. I'm so close. ⌛

The PA LPC license is almost active. The housing and job interviews are next week. I just need to be sure I get there. I cannot let anything get in the way of this. And I won't. Because thanks to you, I'll soon have the means to get out of here.

The final, scary hurdle is that GoFundMe pledges are not instant. This is the part of the crisis no one talks about—having the pledges but not the cash, and still having to figure out how to bridge that 24-hour gap. Knowing the $435 is coming is what gives me the wherewithal to find a solution.

But the hardest part of all this has been what I'm leaving behind. Not the things. Things don't matter. The people. My housemates aren't evil, and they don't deserve to live the way that they do. They live the way they do because of years of untreated trauma. And I lived with them because I had trauma too, and I had no other options available to me at the time.

We let those who need us most pass through our fingers so often, and as you help me, I can't help but feel guilty that I'm not able to help them. Tried, yeah. But as I've also said in therapy, "You can take a horse to water, but you can never force it to drink." And we rely on what we're most familiar with in order to feel safety.

I could see a world in which this whole GoFundMe campaign fails, I give up, and I never do anything more than this. Maybe one day, I'd apply to SSI like the others here. They'd die long before I did, on account of the current of their health, and so I'd inherit their stuff, which I would now have learned how never to let go. I could see an alternate universe in which they joined me. But we're in this one, and I'll have to make do with what I can have in this one. 😿

I am grieving this morning, but I am full of hope. Thank you for building this bridge. We're not at the finish line yet, but the path is visible. I am in awe of your support.

🚀 CRITICAL: Environment Toxic. Fund Gap. FINAL 36 HOURS.

This is the final, most urgent update. We are in the last 36 hours.

The Situation: I returned to the house to pack. I lasted less than an hour. The environment is not just unsafe; it's physically toxic. My housemates' cats have saturated my room with ammonia in the time that I was gone washing my clothes and engaging in basic fucking self-care. So my last safe space is gone.

I am currently wearing a mask lined with Vicks VapoRub just to be able to breathe inside. I cannot sleep here. I cannot stay here. Please, gods, I can't. ☠️

The Deadline: My exit deadline is no longer Monday. It is this Sunday night.

The Financial Reality: As had been discussed in a previous update, part of the $746 you all generously donated has been spent on the non-negotiable costs of escape:
🔹 Multiple, repeated washings of all my clothes (decontamination).
🔹 Packing supplies (boxes, tape, bins).
🔹 Food and supplies to survive while packing.

After accounting for everything, I have approximately $400 left for the exit itself.

This is the hard reality: $400 is not enough to cover the one-way truck rental (which requires a debit card hold) AND the gas/tolls for the 15-hour drive to Pittsburgh.

I am now in an impossible position. I am being poisoned by cat pee in a house I cannot leave, with a deadline I cannot meet. I have no other viable, safe options. This fund is the only path that gets me and my dog out safely by Sunday.

We are no longer building a buffer. We are funding the physical exit. The truck. The gas. The tolls.

If you have been watching and waiting, the time is now. This is the final 36 hours. Please. Help me close this gap and get on the road safely on Sunday.

⭐ CRUNCH TIME: The Final Push. Leaving Monday. (Second Interview Secured!)

This is it. We are in the final 72 hours.

My absolute last day to leave this environment is this Monday, November 17th. We are in crunch time, and I have two massive updates—one about the future, and one about the present—all thanks to you.

First, the future: The job interview went incredibly well. I am officially in the second round of interviews for the therapist position in Pittsburgh! This isn't just a "hope" anymore; this is an active, in-progress reality. The path to stability is clear, and I am walking it.

Second, the present: I want to tell you what your $696 has already done.

Because of you, I had my first real shower in weeks. Because of you, I have socks again. I've been able to buy food, and I'd forgotten what it tasted like.

Your donations gave me back my basic human dignity and have brought me to tears.

I'm using that energy to get ready. I am packing. I am running all my clothes through the wash multiple times to get the allergens off them. When I came back into the house today, the smell... it's overwhelming. It smelled this bad two years ago, but back then, I believed this is what I deserved.
I don't anymore.

We are in the final push. The $696 we've raised is a miracle, but it must cover the debit-card-friendly truck rental (Budget/Penske) AND the security deposit/first few days in a safe place. We are not at the goal, and Monday is the deadline.

If you have been watching and waiting, this is the moment. This is the final weekend. Help me cross this last bridge. Help me finally get home.

🕊️ Saggy Middles & New Beginnings

You haven't heard much from me in the past day. Gods, you find it's hard after a while to keep up momentum. There's the start, energized and ready to go! Then there's the end, and yay! You got what you wanted!

But the middle. Oh gods, the middle. The hardest part by far. Adrenaline wears off, silence creeps back in, and hope begins to fade. That voice says, "You can't do this," on top of the anxiety of upending my life.

But then, an anonymous donor stepped in. 💝

With a donation of $25, they broke the silence. They reminded me that I'm not alone. They reminded me that this community is still building the floor, plank by plank.

We are still packing. The intake appointment is set. The exit is active. But we still need to cross the finish line. If you’ve been watching and waiting: This is the moment where your support matters most. It keeps the silence at bay.

💓 STUNNED. An anonymous hero just dropped $250 into the emergency fund. This is a transformative gift. The total is now $671!

This is the tangible cost of a security deposit for a safe apartment in Pittsburgh. This is the "safe landing zone" becoming a reality, built by this community. I also got myself a phone job interview for tomorrow morning, so it's been a very good day, and a very big part of it has been thanks to all of you. 😻

Thank you to this incredible person. Riko (my husky) and I are leaving by Friday. This is happening.

AAAAAAH! 🚀

💥 WE ARE OVER $400! Two Anonymous Heroes Just Pledged $251!

I am absolutely speechless and near tears this morning. (Don't worry! They're joyful!)

Overnight, two unbelievably generous anonymous supporters contributed a combined $251 to this emergency fund, including one staggering, game-changing donation of over $200.

This is the single biggest leap in momentum we have had. This brings our total fund to $421!

This is no longer just hope; this is logistics. This is the one-way rental car to Pittsburgh. This is the security deposit for a safe landing zone. This is the proof that this community is building this bridge right now. This community is my lifeline right now, and I have never been more grateful to it, or to all of you, than I am right now. When I was advised to ask for the current goal amount, I hadn't believed it possible that something like that could be achieved. Or that anyone would want to achieve it for me.

I'm still not sure I've fully processed what it means to me that you have seen me. Thank you, all of you. And thank you to these two incredible, anonymous heroes. You have just tangibly built the floor for my new life.

Riko (my husky) and I are planning to leave by Friday. This is happening. I owe it to you. I owe it to me.

P.S. GoFundMe keeps trying to get me to setup automatic donation thank-yous, and I'm like, "Boy, these people be giving me their hard-earned money, the last thing they deserve from me is a tasteless gingerbread man in the mail." 😹

Je ne sais pas pourquoi il ne m'est jamais venu à l'esprit de parler directement à mes camarades français d'Eldritch.cafe. 💙

Bonjour à toutes, à tous, et à toustes.

Je m'appelle Ellis (Joan E. Burgos), je suis une femme trans Latina et thérapeute. Je vous écris aujourd'hui pour vous demander votre aide.

Je suis en train de fuir une situation de vie dangereuse qui me cause un préjudice émotionnel.

Pendant des années, j'ai travaillé dur pour guérir de mes traumatismes passés, renforcer mon courage, et accepter pleinement mon identité. Je suis une professionnelle diplômée et je suis fière de la femme résiliente et compatissante que je suis devenue. Mais l'environnement dans lequel je me trouve affecte désormais ma santé et mon bien-être de façon insupportable. Je ne peux plus guérir ici.

En tant que femme trans de couleur, ma sécurité n'est pas garantie. Ma stabilité émotionnelle et physique dépend maintenant d'une rupture nette et rapide.

Mais j'ai plus qu'un plan d'évasion ; j'ai un plan de carrière.

Je suis dans les dernières étapes de ma demande de licence de Conseillère Professionnelle (LPC) à Pittsburgh, en Pennsylvanie. Mon objectif est d'obtenir un poste de « Thérapeute en Santé Comportementale » auprès d'un grand réseau médical. Certains d'entre eux offrent des primes à la signature pouvant aller jusqu'à 10 000 $ pour les rôles précis pour lesquels je suis qualifiée. J'ai déjà payé mes frais de candidature, et l'obtention de ma licence complète n'est qu'une question de quelques semaines.

Cette carrière est mon avenir. C'est ainsi que je bâtirai une vie stable et autonome, et c'est ainsi que je rendrai service à notre communauté – une communauté qui a désespérément besoin de thérapeutes qui nous ressemblent et nous comprennent.

Le problème est que je dois partir maintenant, avant d'avoir pu économiser suffisamment pour le faire en toute sécurité et avant d'avoir reçu mon premier chèque de paie.

C'est là que j'ai besoin de votre aide.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/ellis-emergency-fund

Mon budget de survie essentiel pour ce déménagement est de 7 500 $ US. C'est le montant non négociable dont j'ai besoin pour créer un filet de sécurité stable de trois mois.

Pour m'assurer d'avoir la totalité de cette somme — et pour protéger ce plan contre d'éventuels frais de plateforme ou une seule catastrophe inattendue (comme un pneu crevé lors de la traversée) — j'ai fixé l'objectif à 8 500 $ US. Cela crée un fonds de prévoyance petit mais essentiel pour les coûts imprévus d'un déménagement d'urgence.

Ce fonds est le pont entre la situation insupportable dans laquelle je me trouve aujourd'hui et la vie professionnelle et autonome qui m'attend. Chaque dollar servira à bâtir mon budget de survie essentiel de 7 500 $ US :

❇️ 3 000 $ US – Sécurité du Logement : Pour couvrir le dépôt de garantie immédiat et le premier mois de loyer nécessaires pour signer un bail pour un petit appartement sécurisé à Pittsburgh.

❇️ 1 500 $ US – Logistique et Installation : Pour couvrir les coûts incompressibles d'un déménagement (essence, camion) et les dépôts pour les services publics de base (eau, électricité).

❇️ 3 000 $ US – Marge de Manœuvre de Trois Mois : C'est la partie la plus critique. Cela couvrira la nourriture, le transport et mes besoins médicaux essentiels pendant que je serai dans les dernières étapes d'entretien et que j'attendrai que mon premier chèque de paie soit encaissé (un délai de 4 à 6 semaines).

En m'aidant, vous n'aidez pas seulement une personne à se mettre en sécurité. Vous investissez dans une future thérapeute trans Latina qui sera en première ligne pour se battre pour notre communauté et la guérir pendant des années.

Merci de croire en moi et de faire partie de mon nouveau départ.

⭐ URGENT! The situation has escalated. Emergency exit underway.

To my community, I need to update you immediately. The environment here has become actively unsafe and destructive. My personal resources, including my only clean clothes, have been actively sabotaged.

This is no longer a future plan; it is an immediate, critical safety extraction to Pittsburgh. I am leaving with compromised supplies.

I am engaging trans-focused housing services in Pittsburgh (SisTers PGH) to secure immediate sanctuary. The $8,500 #GoFundMe is now for:

🔹 Immediate Resupply: Necessities like essential clothes.
🔹 Securing the Bridge: Housing until #LPC licensure in PA for high-value employment.
🔹 Refugee Status: Life-saving migration from Iowa's hostile environment for #TransSafety & #HRT needs.

Every donation and share right now fuels my immediate safety. If you can help, this is the moment.

P.S. Apologies if I sound weird. I'm still a little numb from what happened. 😿

Some wonderful news—the emergency safety fund has its first donation! 🥳

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Nahum Wengrov for being the first to step up and contribute. That first donation is the most critical one; it breaks the inertia and officially starts the momentum. Thank you, Nahum! 💙

We've taken the first step on the path to the $8,500 goal. If you are able to help, every share and every dollar is a crucial part of building this bridge to safety.
